TWISTER: RIDE IT OUT

Opened in 1998 replacing the live action Ghostbusters Spooktacular show which closed in 1996. This live special effects demonstration conjures up an F5 tornado in front of your eyes complete with flying livestock.

After watching some preshow video footage of real twisters (with fun facts like 'The twister that landed Dorothy's house in Oz was actually a nylon sock being blown by a fan') we enter Soundstage 50 (Prop Storage).
The first stage introduces us to Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt; the stars of the 1996 Twister movie.

There's a specific patent to cover this attraction which can be viewed at Google Patents.

More coming soon
